Description

A remarkable Grade II listed home steeped in history, coming to market for the first time in over 40 years.

Set behind a gated entrance on the edge of picturesque Pimlico, Bourzuei is a striking and substantial period residence, with origins dating back to the 16th century. Once known as Rose Acre Farm, this unique home was at the heart of a famous rose-growing enterprise, cultivating over 100,000 rose bushes and supplying blooms to iconic figures including Winston Churchill, the Archbishops of Canterbury, and renowned royal dressmaker Norman Hartnell.

Brimming with character, the property offers expansive accommodation across three levels. The ground floor is ideal for both modern family life and entertaining, with a blend of cosy charm and space. A large dual-aspect sitting room and formal living room—complete with a magnificent inglenook fireplace and exposed timber beams—create a warm and inviting atmosphere. A separate dining room and generously appointed kitchen/breakfast room ensure functionality meets traditional appeal. A ground floor bedroom and shower room provide excellent flexibility, perfect for multigenerational living.

Upstairs, the charm continues with five further bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a study—which could easily serve as a seventh bedroom if needed. A spacious basement below the living room adds further storage potential.

Outbuildings & Grounds
Outside, Bourzuei sits on a mature and well-established plot. A large driveway offers ample off-road parking and leads to a detached garage. Lawned gardens wrap around three sides of the property and are framed by an array of mature trees and flowering shrubs, while a peaceful courtyard garden and rear terrace create ideal spaces for al fresco dining.

The grounds also feature several original outbuildings—including the Well Room, Enquiries Room (currently used as a utility room with WC), a traditional barn with hayloft, and the Grain Room. Each has power connected and could offer exciting conversion opportunities (STPP), whether for home working, guest accommodation, or creative spaces.

Location
Ideally located on the outskirts of Leverstock Green, the property benefits from a semi-rural feel yet is within easy reach of everyday amenities and excellent transport links. Hemel Hempstead, St Albans, and Watford are all nearby for shopping and leisure, while the M1 (Junction 5) and M25 (Junction 20) connect easily to London and beyond. For commuters, nearby Kings Langley station offers direct services to London Euston in under 30 minutes. A selection of highly regarded schools and recreational facilities—including golf at Berkhamsted and Ashridge—are also within easy reach.

A rare opportunity to purchase a landmark home rich in heritage, offering versatile accommodation, period charm, and potential for the future. Early viewing is highly recommended.
